The Pandarpur is one of the famous pilgrim centres of Maharashtra. It is also called as Dakshin kashi where Bhima River is flowing by taking a shape of crescent moon therefore, it is famously called as Chandrabhaga river.Lacks of devotees visit to Pandharpur every year during Ashadi, Kartik, Magh and Chaitree yatras. These devotees use the water of Chandrabhaga for taking holy bath and other human activities. The human interference is increased enormously during these days. It may lead to deterioration of water quality. To study the effect of water quality the samples were collected in between and after the yatra days. The physico chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, total alkalinity, calcium, turbidity etc. were analysed for the study. Dissolved oxygen, total hardness and turbidity greatly showed variations during yatra days and after the yatra day's sample. The quality of water gives indication of intensity of pollution in the water. | | Keywords : | | - Livelihood diversification,
